doping has is will be around
dopers are ahead of testers
Pantani and Armstrong were doped to the gills on Ventoux
So was most of the Peleton
Still one of the greatest displays of two guys at the height of their power
I would prefer to know all riders are clean or athletes for that matter. I have resigned to the fact they are not.
I think there should be far mor outrage when IAAF bans Senmenya and requires her to take an inhibitor
Not science based just based on the fact she is naturally different
Want to compete in any other T&F competition or any Olympic for that matter and have the condition no problem only mid distance specifically the one Semmenya competes require this testing and rule
Forget the rampant doping in the events in every sport lets shame a woman that trains hard and is good and not on dope and is refusing the "anti dope"
The country formerly known as Russia is fine to compete in spite of the KGB breaking in and swapping samples
I find the Semenya saga far more outrageous than rumors of Froome and his inhaler
I hope we get to a point that we know who dopes and stop it
I do not follow the rumors of this and just follow the races

Wonder if the other pro sports are just better at not getting caught. Clever cheating trick.

However no drug can make 3K turn to 10K. Some things help winning better than drugs.

Nobody commented on my link, I expect few clicked. On-topic. Lamar Odom reveals he used prosthetic penis to pass drug test so he could play at the Olympics.
This seems like such an easy way to have been beating these test all along. I can think of several ways a cyclist could do this.
I have many times been near the pee tent and noticed that sometimes the rider had privacy and exited with a sample. I thought there was certainly opportunity to beat that that.
Other races there was someone in the tent, and I thought that was pretty well controlled.
Lamar's statement again reinforces that there is really little doping enforcement at the USA pro level. If there were someone would not need to be told an anti-doping person will be coming by because you have an Olympic spot.
What I see different here, vs a cyclist is nobody is trying to take away all of Lamar's team's wins over the last years. The team was helped by his drug use, as a QB is helped by a doping lineman as a GC rider by a doped Domestique.

I hope those prosthetic units are race-specific. I think if Chris Froome tried to use Odom's unit (or vice versa) it might raise some eyebrows in the doping tent.

My view on doping in professional cycling:
Team Sky and the majority of the other teams are still doping. Nothing has changed.
And because of this Lance should have his TDF wins re Instated. I’m not even a big Lance person. But let’s quit fooling each other. Doping still exists.

Its human nature. Next question?
Seriously, if you have any doubt that there's doping in all sports then you know nothing about professional competition.

What I don't get is why after all this time, folks don't know those are the compromises made to be on a pro team. You sell your body to the team.
I do not think all dope, but getting into it without realizing that will be a significant impact on your career is naive.
If you win without doping - you will get accused of doping.
If you don't take one for the team, you are a bad teammate.
If you dope and win and don't get caught you are a hero and likely beat other dopers.
If you get caught - just like a bad crash. It is a risk you take.
I'm going to suggest there are some American kids that know this. And knew this before making their choice on which way to go. The American kids that do go pro are the best performers in the world at junior. Then mid 20s something happens and they are not so competitive.
That American adult racers in their 30s are just figuring this out makes me think they had bad parents.
